Default Trailer Advice Needed

Going to be picking up my Grizzly 700 Special Edition later this week and need to get a trailer.

I only need a trailer for 1 wheeler and trying to figure out what size I should get.
Do not want over kill but also do not want something too small that its hard to back up.

Truck is a 14 Sierra Crew Cab 4X4 Z71 so weight will not be an issue.

Depends on how much you want to spend. I would suggest a 4x7 or 5x7 (depending on your width). The better built they are, the higher the price (like full aluminum). Also choice on either steel mesh or wood floor. I went the cheap route and have had no problems after 800 or so miles as I don't overload or otherwise abuse it. My 4x7 today would be around $600, an aluminum similar in size would be $1500 or better.

Nice to get a tight fit. I have a 5x10 due to my snowmobiles and I have to tie the ATV down when its loaded with the ramp gate up so its not rolling moving moving around.

My friend has 4x7 (I think) all he does after a ride is close the ramp tail gate and he is done since it has to moving room left. Its nice.

He is headed home while I'm still digging out my ratchet straps.

I tie mine down on my 4x7 because there is 6-8 inches between tires and rail and it does bounce it a little but it's really no big deal to do it (I don't have ratchet straps so I just pull tight and go).
